What You Can Benefit From Meditation For Couples

By Stacey Burt


Stress is the reason for many physical conditions to occur. When you are experiencing a great deal of stress, you also tend to be affected emotionally. And most of the time, your decisions are also influenced. You cannot think properly and it causes you to not to think clearly. This is also the usual reason why couples fight a lot and break up even.

When couples fight, it is usually because they are having a bad day and one just got the way of the other. Fighting is something that is normal but when it is too frequent, it never is. There are several ways that this can be remedied and one effective way is undergoing meditation for couples. Through doing this together, you will come to understand each other more.

Meditation has been existing for quite some time now. And it has proven itself in so many ways from improving some of the functions of the organs to ridding your brain of the turmoil that causes stress. It also has a lot of emotional benefits that it is usually recommended if you are feeling out of sorts.

It was initially an individual activity that you can take by yourself. But today, there are many couples who are also doing this to strengthen their relationships and to mend whatever issues they have with each other. If you are already seeing marriage counselors, you should add this to your things to do before you sleep list so that what you have learned in counseling will be reinforced.

This would not be effective if you are the only one who is interested about this. You also need to get your partner agree and participate, otherwise it would not be effective. In order to fix the problem, you both need to be present and do the activity together.

One of the effects of the meditation process is that it can reduce the negative emotions that you are feeling. Another is that it gives you a clear head. So when you just went through a fight, meditating puts all things in perspective. And it also makes you think of a way to reach an agreement or reconcile.

Both of you need to find a place where you can meditate. As a prerequisite, this must be a space that is quite and free from distractions. If you opt to do this at home, you need to turn off all the devices including your phones. You can also turn on the answering machine. Power down the computers and try to turn off everything that might provide distractions to you while you are meditating.

According to experts, there is really no particular position to follow if you ever want to have a meditation session. But it would be better if you both have your back against each other and sit in a cross legged position while your hands are resting in your legs. The way for you to clear your thoughts would be to take deep breaths and let it clear your mind.

Once you start the breathing, you will notice all the thoughts coming to focus. The process would do best if you just let the memories flow in to you. And then you should just observe as they slowly fade away and let the calmness take over you.
